In case they haven't noticed, we have had parking issues at LSU since well... forever. Removing parking lots IS NOT the way to fix that short of satellite parking lots with some kind of automated tram system. I think it is pretty well established that LSU and/or Baton Rouge can't operate an effective bus system to accomplish this.


Is there some sort of ordinance in BR that doesn't allow car garages?

No, there's one on LSU's campus already.

Where are you talking about?


In the renderings, it is close to the river. After reading a few more pages it appears to be a poorly drawn set of softball fields for UREC.

I like how they cite an architectural survey that found LSU has 330 current classrooms but only needs 229 to serve their needs yet the Master Plan is rife with brand new "Academic Buildings"


Its not like the students who are paying with student loans care. Its all play money until they either drop out or graduate.

so by the time they are done, the people graduating now will have kids college aged. Then it will time for another face lift as they are finally finishing this one.

Its a process of continunual improvement. One should not be surprised by this.

Digging a little into the website, the Greek houses are still there, and there's even a proposal for new ones, so that was apparently a red herring.

By 2035, the Greek houses will be converted into museums. You’ll be able to go inside the houses and see photos and read stories about what it was like when students were allowed to have fun on campus.

Well, it has risen so much partly because LSU is underfunded as compared to its peer institutions. A lot of people don't get that LSU is competing with other schools for students, faculty, grant money, prestige. You need a nice, modern campus to do that. And you need to spend money to get there.

I get really annoyed with people who don't care about making LSU a priority, or supporting it, or improving it. The damn place could be a powerhouse.

We can't build a three story library without it falling down. You want to build a multi-story building that you put a whole bunch of cars in?

Good. Close down SUNO and a couple other 4 year universities.

Cut programs that dont prepare anybody for worthwhile jobs.

Make LSU a flagship that can at least compete with places like UF and A&M. Unrealistic to compete with public schools like UT Austin, UNC and UVA.

A simple drive through Southern's campus shows you what happenes when you do not continuously improve
